Regulatory compliance and support for altered management of the exotic pet trade

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, the exotic pet trade has contributed to species invasion, disease, and animal welfare risks. Although scientists have advocated for increased trade regulation, the success of management and regulatory efforts depends on compliance by participants in the exotic pet trade. We used a regulatory compliance framework to investigate exotic

Cold‐blooded commerce: Characterizing and predicting trade in Australian squamates

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Despite a national ban on native wildlife exports, Australian reptile species continue to appear in international trade. Using boosted regression trees, we found that large body sizes and taxonomic family, rather than color or patterning, best predicted trade presence. We identified 59 species likely to be targeted in the future, providing key insights

Using structured decision making to evaluate the tradeoffs of selective fish passage

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Dams have dramatically altered rivers and are a major contributor to native fish population declines. However, many dams serve important ecological, social, and economic functions, such as flood control, invasive species control, and provision of recreational opportunities.

Toward a more inclusive conservation actions classification: Lessons from restoration practice and conservation social science

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation and the associated Conservation Actions Classification 2.0 serve as important and widely used tools to plan, implement, and monitor projects. Drawing a research effort that used the CAC 2.0 as a classification tool to synthesize the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's thousands of projects, this ...

Self‐Knowledge and the Capacity to Judge

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Several philosophers have sought to explain certain features of self‐knowledge our beliefs on the basis of the relation which holds between them and our judgments. Typically, these philosophers presuppose that there is just a single relation between these, for instance the relation of identity.

Predicting Historical Populations and Evaluating Shifting Baselines of Traditionally Exploited Fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Development of data‐intensive stock assessment and ecosystem‐based models has improved our understanding of shifting species abundance in response to fishing, ocean ecology, and species interactions. Along with this analytical progress is evidence that many stocks lack data required for complex models, resulting in data‐limited options for ...

Expression of corticoid‐regulatory genes in the gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr and smolt and during salinity acclimation

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In teleost fishes, cortisol is the major corticoid and has both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions. However, how fish tissues discriminate between these distinct corticosteroid actions is unclear. In mammals, the major factors responsible for intracellular corticosteroid regulation are glucocorticoid receptors (grs) and the ...

Reproduction and embryonic development of monkeyface prickleback Cebidichthys violaceus in captivity

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the sequence of embryonic and larval development and the factors necessary to induce reproduction in captivity are critical for developing new species for commercial or conservation aquaculture. In this study, we describe the adult reproductive behaviours and development of eggs, embryos and early larvae of captive monkeyface ...
